Voting Against Kansas City Public School Tax Hike Is Racist?!?

No.

No it's not. 

However . . . 

AN UPCOMING TAX INCREASE FOR KANSAS CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS THREATENS TO PLAY UPON CLASSIC COWTOWN RACIAL DIVISIONS DESPITE EPIC MISMANAGEMENT!!!

And so . . .

Just to start . . .

Here are more than a few reasons to say NO to more cash despite an onslaught of public pressure and biased media coverage: 

- The Kansas City Desegregation Experiment was one of the most unfair and probably unconstitutional legal decisions in the history of American public education but it proved that MONEY DOESN'T FIX BAD SCHOOL POLICY. The effort wasted hundreds of millions of bucks but only managed to make schools worse. 

- The KCPS is top heavy . . . They could find more funds by tossing aside dozens of administrators and focusing on students rather than serving as a jobs program for barely middle-class politicos. 

- Better to simply sell off or demolish buildings rather than repair dinosaurs giving consistently declining enrollment and the charter school movement that has more flexibility in housing smaller, better schools. 

Most importantly . . .

GIVEN EPIC RISING PROPERTY TAXES, KANSAS CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE FLUSH WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY FOR BUILDING MAINTENANCE!!!

We're hoping that locals will organize against the tax. 

In the meantime . . . We're obligated to post this sketchy pitch the plays upon emotion and ignores taxpayers throwing so much good money after bad for an imploding district that most have abandoned.

Check-it . . .

The district's board passed a resolution stating its intent to ask voters to pass the bond in an election in April 2025. The last time KCPS passed a GBO was in 1967.

As part of its Blueprint 2030 plan approved in January, KCPS announced it would pursue a GBO.

"We're moving forward with a bold plan to pursue a general obligation bond in 2025," KCPS Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Collier said in a video message to families. "This decision is a testament to how much we value education and how deeply we believe in the potential of our children."
